Ron Wambolt for City Council

After living in and being involved in Edmonds for over 36 years, I find that I know all of our current elected officials pretty well.

It is therefore a bit awkward to pick one friend over another for City Council. It is a matter of choosing the best person for the job.

We are, again, at a crossroads in how to move forward to make our city the best that it can be.

In order to do this we need to elect councilmembers that can study all of the alternatives, work together with all of the key individuals and entities, and lead our city in a direction that will enhance all of our lives.

I believe one such person is Ron Wambolt. Ron is one of the smartest, hard-working people I have ever known.

For years he has regularly attended the City Council meetings, not as a dissident but always as a person who listens and learns.

He is well-informed in all matters of importance to our city. He works well with a variety of constituent groups, and he understands the finances of the city as well as anyone in town.

Ron Wambolt cares about the citizens and will be a uniting force to move our city to fiscal stability and work hard for all of its citizens.
